I have been reading and never posting for some time. Have a heater valve issue, its leaking needing to replace. Here is the funny thing I have 252,700 miles on my XLT and this is the first leak ever! I have to say My explorer have been great! I have lived in MI, AZ, MO and now LA so this truck has been everywhere and all kinds of temps, weather, storms etc! It still get 17-23 miles a gallon, AC blows cold, Heats up in less than 5 mins, 4 wheel drive works and starts everytime. Crazy thing that a plastic part has brought me back to the site to repair.:salute:

Question is there an easy way to replace the valve than going thru the passenger wheel well, if so could some please tell me how?
 






This is a heater control valve:
